Profile

Hello! My name is Sarah Crisp. I was born In China and raised in Portland, Oregon. I am a second-year student majoring in Civil Engineering and minoring in Communications. I went directly to Portland State right out of high school. Besides being a full-time student and Scholars for Success in STEM (S3) mentor, I am also involved with PSU's SWE (Society of Women Engineers) and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineering). My dream is to engineer sustainable structures and integrate green spaces within the city.

Outside of school and work, I enjoy exploring Portland, hiking, binging on Netflix and volunteering. I’ve been a member of Portland Lee’s Lion and Dragon Dance team since 2007. This organization provides Chinese cultural enrichment as well as a social place for youth and adults. I perform and am an instructor for the youth group class. The youth group consists of children and teens ages 7 - 17.
